As you can see,the keys in red are the ones that aren't working.
Yet the keys in blue are exactly the same but on the other side of my keyboard,but they work.

Hopefully someone can help me,I'd appreciate it if you could.

Thank you.

Hello and welcome back to PCHelpForum.

Have you updated the keyboards drivers?

Also try cleaning between the keys and turn upside down and shake any dust ect out of them.

I have marked your thread as "Open" to receive some help with this problem.

You could also try taking out the keys and using a hairdryer to clear any dust/moisture from the problem keys.

It might be worthwhile taking a picture or making a diagram of the keyboard so that you can put the keys back in the right place.

Another option is to take out all the keys on the problem side and blast the keyboard with a hairdryer for five or ten minutes.

Also, keyboards are relatively cheap. I recommend a PS/2 as opposed to a USB keyboard as in some instances a USB keyboard will not work whereas a PS/2 keyboard will always work.

PS, also try taking out the problem keys and pressing the pad with a pen or other tool to see if it is a contact issue.

PPS unplug your keyboard from the computer and check for bent pins. Then if possible straighten the bent pins and plug it back in firmly.

Thanks guys.
I took the keys out,and got a pen but still nothing.
I cleaned out the whole area aswell.
Ohwell,I'm up for a new keyboard lol.

Amtech the picture shows left side of keyboard has issues and right side appears ok.

As we use cap lock area possibly more than others yes the keyboard maybe damaged.A little worn out.

Or keys were pressed via an accident of to much pressure and now are disabled.

Yes a new keyboard is possibly the fix.

They are cheap enough. In my house there's a keyboard where the caps lock is reversed eg when it says its on its off and when it says its off its on.

Sometimes keyboards are funny
